To those of you who brought the calamity upon us, I hope you reap what you’ve sowed.

Director John Ratcliffe broke the law. He must resign.

God hopes that delightful 'Fight the Oligarchy' tour makes a stop in Washington, D.C. It sure would be nice to see 200,000 people there in solidarity.

BREAKING: From the UK 🇬🇧 Medical science is discovering a new fact when it comes to Covid vaccines. Apparently, in individuals who were vaccinated and had a booster; studies have show they are 50%-65% less likely to have a heart attack or stroke compared to those who are unvaccinated. Enjoy. 😎✨

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

If we treated congressmen the way we treat immigrants, then we could finally have some real reform for the impoverished.

Masked men are abducting people off the streets. If that alone doesn’t spur you to rise up, prepare for the boot on YOUR neck, too.

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

Time for the orange clown to go to jail, military do your job !!!

my goals for this year mostly involve not ending up in a black site work camp

The Democratic party must be purged of elected officials who have supported mass deportation

an actual opposition party in the US would be nice

He is going to give his associates cheap government buildings and national forests and park lands

Looks like my New Year’s resolution to not engage in armed rebellion is at risk… …AGAIN!

Thank you @jeffjarvis.bsky.social

This was honestly the most disturbing day yet. And I’m including J6.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social IMPEACHMENT NOW

This has nothing to do with my personal political preferences or beliefs about potential future candidates, it is just my armchair analysis, but we are still in a place where if someone like AOC were to emerge as a presidential candidate, *even now* their own party would organize to undermine them.

They are daring anyone to stop them.

stacey abrams put the entire country on her back and the party abandoned her

If you’re an attorney and you let the government look through your privileged emails to get back into the country without a court order, you should be disbarred.

What Judge Xinis is banking on is that the government does not want to spend two weeks in discovery. Two big things can happen: (1) They just make the call and get him back (2) They spend two weeks creating a public record of their own fuck ups and then get sanctioned

We need a war time minority leader

Bernie Sanders has been delivering the same message for 40 years and it’s resonated with the American people. Let the pendulum swing further to the left and drag the rest kicking and screaming.

If Karoline Leavitt or anyone in this administration has receipts showing that Mr. Garcia is a member of MS-13, or engaged in human trafficking, they’d be presenting them in a power point presentation every single day.

Judge Paula Xinis please stay away from tea and windows….

if we replaced the entire Democratic Party with about 40 people who have ever had a real job we would have a better shot at keeping the right wing from destroying the country

When do all law firms get in this battle

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

The ICE officers covering their faces feels like a pretty big tell

took a few days off for my brain and one pretty alarming observation i have is just how easy it is to not hear about the bad stuff that is happening if you don't explicitly dip into specific information streams (not a new problem but feels orders of magnitude more siloed than even 2-3 years ago)

Call your governor -- tell them to use state police to stop ICE from detaining people without a warrant. No warrant = kidnapping. This is a fundamental 4th amendment issue.

The Federal Judge deciding on the wrongly deported should rule that Honan be taken to a cell & held until Garcia is returned to US soil. If nothing happens within two weeks, throw Noem in with him. Might even be worth starting lower down the chain so people realize "just following orders" won't work
